How We Care for Your Pieces

We start with a quick inventory: lounges, mattresses, dining sets, cartons, then match the unit height and footprint to your list. We suggest breathable wraps, desiccants, and pallets for airflow, plus an aisle so you can reach boxes without unstacking everything. Mattresses stand safely, timber gets padded corners, and whitegoods dry out with doors ajar. Wide lanes and drive-up access make weekend drop-ins easy, while flexible terms suit renos, moves, or long trips without locking you in.

FAQ

  • How do you stop mould in tropical storage?

    Moisture control and airflow. Store furniture clean and fully dry; elevate with pallets; leave small gaps between items and walls; use breathable covers rather than plastic wrap for long stints. Add desiccant packs and replace them regularly through the wet. For fridges/washers, wipe dry and tape doors ajar with a spacer. Treat timber and leather with appropriate conditioners; avoid sealing fabrics when humid. Do a check after the first week, then monthly during heavy rain to catch issues early.

  • What size unit fits a typical two-bedroom home’s furniture?

    As a rough guide, a 20-foot container or ~3×3m unit with good height suits many two-bedroom moves when stacking is planned. Keep wardrobes and mattresses vertical, sofas on end (if safe), and leave an aisle about shoulder-width for access. If you have bulky dining tables, outdoor settings, or multiple bookcases, consider extra height or a slightly larger footprint. Photograph the layout before leaving, and label boxes by room so you can find essentials without unstacking half the unit.

  • What’s the best way to store mattresses and couches long-term?

    Use breathable mattress protectors, not sealed plastic, and store upright with light strapping to prevent bowing. Slipcovers or cotton sheets keep dust off while letting air flow. For couches, remove cushions, wrap with moving blankets, and protect feet and corners with cardboard. Keep fabric off the floor on pallets; add desiccants nearby. Avoid stacking heavy boxes on soft furniture. If storing leather, clean and condition first. Revisit monthly: check for moisture, refresh desiccants, and gently air items on dry days.
